Roll Top and Method for the Production Thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a roll top for a storage compartment in a center console of a motor vehicle and proposes to injection mold lamellae of the roll top in two layers from a hard plastic, and to subsequently mold joints made of an elastomer onto one of the two layers. A distance between a layer of the lamellae and the joints prevents the soft plastic of the joints, which is liquid during injection molding, from flowing onto this layer. As a result, a visible side of the roll top can be kept free of the soft plastic of the joints, and the soft plastic is prevented from flowing beneath a decorative layer applied by way of in-mold.

1 . A roll top comprising lamellae made of hard plastic, which are connected in an articulated manner by joints made of soft plastic, wherein the lamellae are integrally joined to the joints by injection molding of the lamellae and of the joints, at least one lamella being injection molded in at least two layers, and a layer of the at least one lamella being located at a distance from the joints. 
     
     
         2 . The roll top according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least two layers of the at least one lamella are made of the same plastic material. 
     
     
         3 . The roll top according to  claim 1 , wherein a layer of the lamellae is located at a distance from the joints on a visible side of the roll top. 
     
     
         4 . A roll top according to  claim 1 , wherein a layer of the at least one lamella which is molded first is located on a visible side of the roll top. 
     
     
         5 . A roll top according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one lamella comprises a decorative layer on a visible side, which is applied by way of in-mold decoration. 
     
     
         6 . A roll top according to  claim 1 , wherein layer thicknesses of the at least two layers of the at least one lamella are at least 7% of the thickness of the at least one lamella. 
     
     
         7 . A method for producing a roll top comprising lamellae made of hard plastic, which are connected in an articulated manner by joints made of soft plastic, wherein the lamellae are injection molded in two layers, and thereafter the joints are injection molded, and a layer of the lamellae is located at a distance from the joints. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein, prior to injection molding the lamellae, a decorative layer is introduced into an injection mold.
